Unity Solar Systems review

"I feel that I was deceived, and lied to a lot The staff is very unfriendly and unpleasant. If you lose your job and can't keep up with your payments, they won't help you. Writing an $800 check to this firm every three months seems like blackmail. In the beginning, this would lower the cost of PGE, but after five years the price has gone up $60, from $200 to $260, and it is expected to rise above $300 by the end of the year. Unity Solar Systems is like a mob in that they bully you into demanding payment and won't forgive late payments, while PGE has allowed consumers to make partial payments on overdue electric bills. The customer service representative I talked to was as obnoxious as a street thug trying to extort money from me. They installed a $21,000 system on my roof and are now trying to charge me $63,000 a year for the remainder of my lease. As a first-time purchaser of the system, I was uninformed and was easily taken advantage of because of the constant rate increases and the lack of guarantee of power compensation. After the moratorium measure was enacted, I regret not contracting with PGE. At least partial and late payments can be made with them and they are sympathetic to the current economic situation. Lawmakers should step forward and grant the same amnesty to anyone who was tricked into going into solar under the false impression that they would help the environment and the electric grid, and then entered into an extremely expensive contract without the possibility of negotiation. Sunrun should feel guilty for exploiting its customers." - Shane T.

"For the last six months, my panels have been useless. The price of my power has increased by 30%! Technician visits to inspect the panels are being postponed. They have you signed a contract for 25 years, and I'm now in contact with an attorney's office about it, which is really aggravating. Please remove these panels from my rooftop! Stay away from Unity Solar Systems!" - Patrick N.

"I had my solar panels installed and now I'm getting charged by my electric company more than what I was paying without the system. The whole point of making the decision to move forward with Unity Solar Systems was to save on electric costs. Before I signed the agreement, I asked all of my questions regarding cloudy days, nights, cold weather, and hot weather. The salesman reassured me that no matter the weather I would have no impact on the energy being provided. When reaching out to the company about this issue, they told me that the contract that I signed says that in the daylight hours, I will be receiving energy from my solar panels and that at night from the electric company. This is very disappointing because I wish I had never been roped into this lie. I want to get those panels off my roof - there is no point in going through with the whole process when you're going to end up paying more money and having a useless system occupying space on your roof. If you get approached by a Unity Solar Systems rep. RUN !!!!! Don't be coerced into the lie." - Mason L.

"I now have two systems (they were already in the property I purchased). Worst customer service ever We had to have a new roof, it took 3 weeks to get someone out to take it off, we're still being charged 4 months later, and Unity Solar Systems refuses to come out and reinstall the system and the panels. Avoid this firm at all costs. As a result of their repeated breaches of contract and my status as a working professional, I have little choice but to seek legal counsel. Avoid Unity Solar Systems at all costs." - Jonas K.

"Around eight months ago, when I first began using Unity Solar Systems, it was really nice and quick. When the plan was finalized, a contract was signed, and an installation date was scheduled. It was discovered that they did not have enough of the required panels until far into the installation process. Our borough inspector was called in, and he identified a few problems after we scheduled an inspection. To cut a long tale short, the inspector came back a total of two more times before he finally signed off. I haven't heard anything from Unity Solar Systems since then, so I have no clue what's going on. And they just phoned to tell me my monthly bill would double since they used new panels. Well, it's been half a year since the panels were placed, and I still have no idea when I can expect them to be operational." - Harry J.
